clojure.string/triml I believe.

Thank you.

Breaking changes are bad enough without making some of them
gratuitous. They could have just renamed the namespace without also
renaming some of the individual functions. :)

One could also argue the other way around: When we break things already, we can 
break it really hard and also clean up inconsistent naming of functions and 
such. Then you have the pain of a breaking change only once.

That said: I don't know whether considerations like this were the case here.

Sincerely
Meikel

I think you'll find that the trim/triml/trimr naming came from thread
review the clojure.string code from between 2010-05-30 and
2010-06-03. The trimr/triml/trim naming has the nice property of
clustering the three functions together in documentation (which tends
to be sorted by name).
